Regional domains

[matt_1974]

Hello all

Newbie, looking for some advice and with a few domains already registered - and some more on a 'hitlist'....

What do people think of 'regional' domains - eg south-cars.co.uk, manchester-gardeners.co.uk, scots-homes.co.uk etc?

I have a new, growing (soon to explode) market, and fancy registering the domains for some major cities and regions. It is a market that will be made up of a few very big players, and then many small (one-ten man companies).

I am thinking a 'stack em high sell em cheap' approach....

Your advice appreciated.

Thanks

Matt

Having a city or region in a domain is good for mini sites to run along side a main company website.

Someone living in cornwall looking for photographers for Christmas Portraits will probs search.

"Family Portrait photographer"

With results point to companies in the north of England for example.

They then would search.

"Family Portrait photographers in Cornwall"

Then ideally the domain CornwallPhotographers.co.uk would be number 1 in Google or at least the first page if SEO's correctly.

So yes regional domains are good, I do have 100+ regional domains and the ones I have developed have shown great results!!

I think names like LondonRestaurants or ParkingManchester will always be desirable. Depends how far you want to go...CoffeeShopsYork!! NO...
